  Unable to get AG8 board to function
Posted by: Smith6612 - 02-16-2025, 05:30 AM - Forum: KC868-AG / AG Pro / AG8 / Z1 - Replies (3)

Hello there!

I have recently purchased two AG8 Smart Controllers, and I am having trouble with both of the boards.

I am trying to use the boards with the ESPHome firmware, and have built demo firmware inside of ESPHome using the ESPHome YAML file found here: https://www.kincony.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=5889 . I am able to enter Download Mode, and successfully flash the firmware to the device. However, after power cycling the device to boot the firmware, I cannot get any network connectivity to the device. In my YAML config, Ethernet is selected. The device establishes an Ethernet link but does not send any traffic (No DHCP/No IP Address obtained). I have also tried to switch the YAML config to use Wi-Fi, with Wi-Fi Hotspot Fallback, and the device never broadcasts in AP mode.

I am also unable to connect to the ESP32 using USB Serial in normal boot mode. Only if I boot the device into Download Mode, in which case the device appears and I can send firmware to it.

I have also attempted to install the Tasmota firmware. The Tasmota firmware was outputting on serial, but all I could see in the serial output is the device boot looping, attempting to load the firmware.

I am wondering if this has to do with the power supply for the board. I am currently using a 9V 500ma power supply. According to my Multimeter, the power supply at the terminals while the board is active reads 10.6v. The product page says 9V-24V is the power input range. Is my power supply acceptable or is there a recommended voltage/amperage for the product? I do have other ESP32 powered devices at home which operate on 5V 1A power supplies without issue.

  KinCony KC868-A16v3 ESP32-S3 GPIO Module released
Posted by: admin - 02-16-2025, 03:21 AM - Forum: News - No Replies

KinCony KC868-A16v3 ESP32-S3 smart controller based on ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U (N16R8) wifi chip. It have 16 channel digital input and 16 channel digital output, 3 channel 1-wire GPIOs, 4 channel analog input ports. 3 free GPIO on PCB beside ESP32-S3 module. One SD card using SPI bus. KinCony KC868-A16v3 include DS3231 high precision RTC clock chip. LCD display will show wifi and ethernet IP address. A16v3 have RS485 port and RF433MHz RF sender / receiver. You can write any code by Arduino IDE / MicroPython / ESP-IDF development tool to ESP32 module. We will supply Arduino / ESP-IDF demo code for different samples. Everyone can modify and change the code for your own smart home automation system project. it support use by ESPHome for home assistant or tasmota firmware for smart home automation DIY. A16v3 use KCS v3 firmware, it support home assistant auto discovery function by MQTT, so without write any config code (zero code) for home assistant. KCS v3 support Apple HomeKit.

  "KCS" v3 HTTP protocol document
Posted by: admin - 02-15-2025, 04:04 AM - Forum: "KCS" v3 firmware - No Replies

Note: This protocol document use for KinCony ESP32-S3 smart controller:
you need to download KCS v3 firmware to ESP32-S3 firstly.
Different board will have different channel of digital output, digital input , ADC, DAC,IR, RF. So the protocol is same , just according to the hardware resource to set channel number.
protocol document download:
